Some make contributions to the theorization of the slippery concept of soft power, while others are more empirically based, providing valuable case studies in both China and Africa. This collection considers the concept of soft power and questions its relevance to understanding China's international relations and international communications. It analyzes China's soft power in Africa through its international communication channels, addressing important questions such as: Why are Chinese media in Africa? How much soft power does China have in Africa? And what is the appropriate framework to analyze Chinese media's performance in Africa? In answering these questions, this volume also examines how China's engagement is represented in African countries' media. 410 0$aPalgrave Series in Asia and Pacific Studies,$x2662-7922 606 $aEthnology?Africa 606 $aEthnology?Asia 606 $aCommunication 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aArea studies 606 $aAfrican Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411030 606 $aAsian Culture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411040 606 $aMedia Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412000 606 $aInternational Relations$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912000 606 $aMedia and Communication$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/412010 606 $aArea Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22045 607 $aAfrica$xPress coverage$zChina$vCongresses 607 $aAfrica$xCivilzation$xChinese influences$vCongresses 607 $aAfrica$xRelations$zChina$vCongresses 607 $aChina$xRelations$zAfrica$vCongresses 615 0$aEthnology?Africa. 615 0$aEthnology?Asia. 615 0$aCommunication. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aArea studies. 615 14$aAfrican Culture. 615 24$aAsian Culture. 615 24$aMedia Studies. 615 24$aInternational Relations. 615 24$aMedia and Communication. 615 24$aArea Studies. 676 $a302.230951 702 $aZhang$b X$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWasserman$b H$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aMano$b W$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255244103321 996 $aChina's Media and Soft Power in Africa$92519146 997 $aUNINA
